Ming Chengzu thought about it and said to the prince: "Okay! Gao Chi, my father handed over Yang Qiuchi's case to you to handle it personally, and reported it to my father after it was investigated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The crown prince Zhu Gaochi bowed down to receive the order.
Ming Chengzu said to Yang Qiuchi again: "Until the truth is revealed, your family can't leave the Marquis Mansion." It is supervised by the high-blazing belt feather forest avant-garde. If your case is found to be unjust, I will naturally give you justice, and if it is found to be true, I can destroy your nine clans! Do you understand? ”
Yang Qiuchi ignited hope in his heart, kowtowed, and said gratefully: "The emperor can give the minister a chance to clear his grievances, and the minister is grateful, thank Longen!" ”
To tell the truth, when the superficial evidence is so strong, and the same party is executed by Ling Chi, the emperor just opens up to himself and allows a review, which can really be regarded as the emperor's grace. couldn't help but Yang Qiuchi was not grateful.
Ming Chengzu made this decision mainly out of the following considerations:
First, the loopholes in this case that Yang Qiuchi said made Ming Chengzu also suspicious; And Yang Qiuchi has worked hard to catch Jianwen and the rest of the party, and it is indeed inappropriate to deal with it hastily, and if there is doubt about the case, he will kill the heroes, and it is easy to give people the handle of rabbits and dead dogs; The second is that Yang Qiuchi is indeed a rare talent, Ming Chengzu now needs such a person to help him picket the anti-thieves and consolidate the regime, and he is unwilling to kill him so hastily, which is why Ming Chengzu did not directly hand him over to Jinyi Wei Jigang for processing, but personally interrogated; Third, of course, it is the intercession of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, although Ming Chengzu does not particularly like this prince, but he also has to maintain the tradition of the eldest son of the feudal heir, maintain the status of the prince, and give the prince a face.
Therefore, Ming Chengzu allowed the case to be re-examined and instructed the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to take responsibility.
Jun has no jokes, and once the emperor opens his golden mouth, there is no way to change it. Ji Gang hated Yang Qiuchi so much, but he couldn't help it. had to secretly think about how to further frame Yang Qiuchi.
Yang Qiuchi was temporarily relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Your Majesty, since Weichen's family has been allowed to be placed under house arrest in the mansion and waiting for the investigation of the case, Weichen wants to ask the emperor to ask Ji Gang to return my concubine Song Yun'er and my other three guards. ”
Ming Chengzu nodded and glanced at Ji Gang. Ji Gang had no choice but to go out and whisper to Jinyi Wei to bring Song Yuner and others.
Zhu Gaochi bowed to Ming Chengzu and said, "Father, the sons and daughters will first arrange for the Yulin avant-garde to supervise the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, and then start the investigation. ”
Ming Chengzu nodded. Zhu Gaochi left the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace.
After a while, Song Yun'er, Nangong Xiong, Xu Shiling, and Shi Qiujian were tied up by the cow tendon rope and knelt down. Nangong Xiong and the other three people obviously endured torture and were covered in blood.
Song Yun'er was not punished, it turned out that Ji Gang thought that the evidence was enough, and Song Yun'er would be sentenced to the hero's family as a slave in the future, this hero was obviously Ji Gang himself, he didn't want to break Song Yun'er's handsome slave.
Although Ji Gang has the information about Song Yun'er, he doesn't know Song Yun'er's surname, otherwise he wouldn't think like this, because if Song Yun'er really becomes his slave one day, that is, his Ji Gang's death.
When Song Yun'er saw Yang Qiuchi, she exclaimed in surprise: "Brother~!" Tears flowed down her cheeks.
Yang Qiuchi crawled over on his knees, hugged Song Yun'er, felt distressed, and asked softly, "Did they beat you?" ”
"Nope! They attacked me with fishing nets and tied me up and kept me in a room. Brother, are you okay? Song Yun'er tied her hands behind her back, snuggled in Yang Qiuchi's arms, and asked crying.
"I'm fine. Don't worry, let's go home. After that, he untied the rope for Song Yun'er.
Then, Yang Qiuchi and Song Yun'er untied the ropes for Nangong Xiong and the three of them respectively.
Just now, the emperor had promised to let Song Yun'er, Nangong Xiong and others go back with Yang Qiuchi, so Ji Gang couldn't stop him.
Nangong Xiong and the others saw that Yang Qiuchi was safe and sound, and untied the rope for themselves, and the emperor and Ji Gang did not stop them, thinking that Yang Qiuchi had already done the matter, and they were all overjoyed.
Nangong Xiong said: "Master Hou, this guy in Pu Fan Valley ......"
Yang Qiuchi waved his hand: "I already know." patted Nangong Xiong's shoulder, "The three of you would rather die than betray me, very good, you will be my good brothers in the future!" ”
Ji Gang interjected coldly: "Later? Hehe, we will have a company to do ghosts together in the future. ”
Nangong Xiong and the other three were tortured by Ji Gang Jinyiwei in an attempt to make the three of them accuse Yang Qiuchi, but the three of them categorically refused, and the three of them and Yang Qiuchi were born and died, and they had decided to live and die together. Even though he was tortured, he did not rebel.
Yang Qiuchi looked at Ji Gang and smiled coldly: "Okay, let's bet on who will be the ghost first!" Ignoring him anymore, he turned around and kowtowed to Ming Chengzu and said, "The ministers will retire!" ”
Ming Chengzu waved his hand expressionlessly.
Yang Qiuchi got up and walked out of the room with the four of them.
Dozens of Yulin guards were already waiting outside the door, escorting Yang Qiuchi and the others to the outside of the palace.
Seeing this posture, Song Yun'er asked worriedly, "Brother, what's going on?" ”
Yang Qiuchi said in a deep voice: "Ji Gang, the dog thief, framed me and almost killed me, and now the emperor has ordered our family to be placed under house arrest in the mansion, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi is personally responsible for investigating the case of Ji Gang framing me." Deal with it after it is clarified. ”
Song Yun'er said anxiously: "What can I do then?" ”
"Don't worry, I think the prince is very fair, and he should be able to find out the flawed case of Ji Gang framing me, and return my innocence. Let's go back and talk about it first. ”
Under the escort of Yulin's avant-garde, Yang Qiuchi and his party returned to Yang Hou's Mansion.
At this moment, Yang Hou's Mansion has been completely surrounded by Jinyi Guards, most of Yang Qiuchi's original escort team has been recruited back by Ji Gang, only Xia Ping and a dozen or so male and female guards who swore to follow Yang Qiuchi to the death, and they were unwilling to leave at the critical moment of the Yang family, so they disobeyed the order and stayed, wanting to live and die with the Yang family.
After the Yulin avant-garde brought by the prince arrived, he replaced the Jinyi guard and closely monitored the perimeter of the Hou Mansion, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.
Mother Yang, Feng Xiaoxue and the others were already like ants on a hot pot, fidgeting, and when they saw Yang Qiuchi coming back, they hurriedly greeted them.
Feng Xiaoxue was about to cry urgently: "Husband, you are back, not long after you left, our house was surrounded by hundreds of brocade guards, and no one was allowed to go out." What's going on? ”
Yang Qiuchi looked around at the women and briefly explained what had just happened, and the women were both happy and worried when they heard it.
Liu Ruobing said angrily: "I want to find a way to sneak out and kill Ji Gang, the dog thief!" ”
Yang Qiuchi waved his hand: "You can't kill him yet." ”
The women wondered: "Why? ”
"If we kill him now, the emperor will definitely know that we did it, and think that we are thieves with a weak heart, so we will kill people and kill our mouths, then we will jump into the Yellow River and we will not be able to wash it."
Song Yun'er said: "What should I do then?" Is it impossible for him to be so proud? ”
"Of course not!" Yang Qiuchi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't share the sky with Ji Gang, a dog thief!" Now either he dies or I live, this revenge must be avenged, if he can't die, there will be no way for us to live! However, we have to wait for this case to be clarified and we are cleared before we attack him. Moreover, there is no need to assassinate him as a last resort, because he will definitely prevent us from assassinating him now, and it will not be easy to succeed. Besides, I don't want him to die so easily, I want to deal with him with dignity and kill him! I swear, I, Yang Qiuchi, must let him die a miserable death! ”
This is the first time that Yang Qiuchi has been framed by others, and he was almost beheaded by the whole family, exterminating the nine clans, and he couldn't help but be really angry, and he was determined to fight Ji Gang to the end.
Immediately, Yang Qiuchi and the others discussed in detail what to do, prepared for the worst, packed up the gold and silver, and thought about how to deal with the situation once it was not good.
Now we are waiting for the results of the investigation of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.
Nangong Xiong, Xu Shiling, Shi Qiujian and Xia Ping took the remaining dozen or so guards to deploy guards in the mansion to prevent Ji Gang from sending people to assassinate.
When Yang Qiuchi and the girls were talking in the living room, the porter came to report that the prince Zhu Gaochi had visited.
Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, his nine deaths this time were largely due to Zhu Gaochi's intercession, and he hurriedly greeted the door.
Seeing Zhu Gaochi's fat figure, Yang Qiuchi felt extremely cordial, and bowed down and said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be seen." His Royal Highness the Prince's life, Qiuchi is unforgettable! ”
Zhu Gaochi smiled and returned the salute: "Lord Yang is serious." Let's talk in the room. ”
Yang Qiuchi welcomed Zhu Gaochi to the living room. Zhu Gaochi asked the guards to wait outside the living room and followed Yang Qiuchi into the living room.
The ladies had already taken refuge in the inner hall. After Yang Qiuchi and Zhu Gaochi sat down, Zhu Gaochi said, "Master Hou, do you know the purpose of this prince's coming?" ”
Yang Qiuchi was slightly stunned and said, "The prince is investigating the case by holy order, and he has any questions to ask the lower officials?" ”
Zhu Gaochi shook his head: "When Hou Ye didn't enter Beijing, I heard a lot about Hou Ye and you, and your ability to solve cases left a deep impression on me. ”
Yang Qiuchi felt a warm current surging all over his body, stood up, bowed deeply, and his words were a little choked: "Thank you Prince ......!" The Prince's kindness to Akiike...... Although Qiuchi is full of liver and brain, there is nothing to repay! ”
Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly, beckoned Yang Qiuchi to sit down, and said: "Although I believe that you have been wronged, I don't know anything about solving the case, and I don't know how to find out this case and give a satisfactory explanation to my father, so I came to discuss with you." ”
